About This Quote

Happiness is something that everyone wants, but few people are willing to seek it. Happiness is the kind of thing you want when you’re sad, but run away from when you’re happy. We all have times when we feel joy despite the fact that we’ve had a really hard day or week. It’s almost as if there are two sides to the same coin. Unfortunately, happiness is hard to find.

That’s why most people are so eager to run from it. The truth is, happiness lies in being happy regardless of what life throws at you. It lies in the way you treat yourself, your friends and your family.

The best way to become happy is to stop running from happiness and embrace it whenever it comes around.
